Interesting.. I see something completely different with my Fury.

My hard-coded fudge factor is 0.077 yielding:

Every 2.0s: ntpq -p                                     Thu Oct 17 10:20:00

So... i could fine tune my fudge some but the point is the jitter is fairly
low.  (fury is from the sentences and ppsf is pps from fury).

My soekris (soekris is the .171) numbers were much better but it is
inoperable for some reason.
